AGENJO-CALDERON, Astrid. Genealogy of Feminist Economic Thought: Women as Epistemological Subjects and Objects of Study in Economics. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2021, n.75, pp.42-54. ISSN 0123-885X.  https://doi.org/10.7440/res75.2021.05.

This work proposes a review and systematization of feminist research focused on exposing “the hidden feminized other” in the androcentric economic discourse. To this end, we review both the history of Western economic thought (from antiquity to the neoclassical approach of the 20th century), and the history of economics. Our intention is to recover women as objects of study, paying special attention to the private/domestic sphere, but also as epistemological subjects by rendering visible the contributions and criticisms of historically silenced women economists. Both areas of knowledge will be explored interrelatedly, in order to find common ground with the developments of feminist economics and to contribute to the construction of the genealogy of this current of thought.

Keywords : Economic thinking; feminist economy; gender; genealogy; Global North.
